Washington Post's Sargent: IRS Scandal 'Fever Swamp' Stuff

Greg Sargent of The Washington Post has decided that any worries over the IRS intimidation tactics are nothing but “fever swamp” nonsense.

In his June 21 post at The Plum Line, Sargent has declared the IRS scandal over. In fact, it is nothing but Republican foolishness, according to him:

Partly because of Issa’s game-playing — and partly because the very serious concerns raised by the NSA revelations intervened — the political press corps really does seem to have decided that Republican investigators have come up with nothing to tie the IRS targeting to the White House and that those initial leaks were little more than an effort to play them.
